My Students

My classroom is a wonderful place filled with hardworking students and staff. Every day, I fall just a little bit more in love with their amazing hearts and smiles. Each child has an individual education plan to help them make progress on goals in functional academics, behavior, life skills, communication, and functional life skills.

My students are full of curiosity, energy, and incredible potential.

We focus on the positive and celebrate every success that they achieve. Each day I do my best to make sure that they have the necessary tools to succeed, but it takes a lot of equipment and materials to help meet their unique needs.

With the help of DonorsChoose.org, I am able to provide unique and engaging materials to help my students, who experience a variety of disabilities, overcome their challenges and let their abilities shine through.

My Project

As a middle school special education teacher, I am always thinking about what skills my students need in order to be as independent and productive as possible when they grow up.

Consumer math skills are at the top of my list of skills that my special education students need in order to be financially literate and not get cheated when they make purchases.

This project will help me stock our classroom student store where students earn play money which will go into their money pouches. Each week they will count their money and keep a bank book of their savings. Every 6-8 weeks they will have an opportunity to purchase items such as mini figures, wood models, pencils, candy, and small Lego kits. With Velcro, tape, scissors, files, coin stamps and flash cards I can create customized activities to help them learn new money skills. The mobile dry erase board with markers and the rolling cart will allow me to move visual supports and materials around the room to where students are working on their math lessons.

Our classroom store is very popular with the students and they eagerly look forward to spending their money at the store. Thank you for considering my project.
